Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I built a little bird from wire
It fell apart on the floor
One wing gone, one eye staring
Still I reached for more
Glue on my fingers, dust on my sleeve
That old box by the sink
I made a door for the crooked frame
It wouldn’t quite click
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things bend, then break
Some things laugh at tape
I hold the pieces in my palm
And make my way
[Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
Even when it slips away
I keep trying, trying
When the fix won’t stay
Not everything I touch
Turns out right
But I keep trying, trying
All night
[Verse 2]
The clock on the shelf quit singing
When I gave it a shake
The little spring ran for the corner
Like it knew its mistake
I marked up the table, drew new lines
Made a map of the mess
No magic in my hands tonight
Just a stubborn yes
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things bend, then break
Some things laugh at tape
I hold the pieces in my palm
And make my way
[Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
Even when it slips away
I keep trying, trying
When the fix won’t stay
Not everything I touch
Turns out right
But I keep trying, trying
All night
[Bridge]
Maybe the crack stays visible
Maybe the seam stays thin
Maybe the world is built this way
And still I lean back in
I don’t mend every sorrow
I don’t solve every hurt
But I can set the broken down
And try again at first
[Final Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
Even when it slips away
I keep trying, trying
When the fix won’t stay
Not everything I touch
Turns out right
But I keep trying, trying
All night
I keep trying, trying
With my hands held high
I keep trying, trying
Till the end of time
